Old Firm pair drawn at home

Old Firm rivals Celtic and Rangers will start their Scottish Cup campaigns with home matches against lower-league opposition in the fourth round.

Rangers will face mid-table Third Division side East Stirlingshire at Ibrox, while cup holders Celtic take on Stirling Albion, who are currently bottom of the Irn-Bru First Division.

There will be three all-Premier League clashes, with Falkirk drawn at home to Aberdeen, Hibernian due to face Inverness Caledonian Thistle at Easter Road, and Hearts selected to face Motherwell at Tynecastle.

Junior side Linlithgow Rose will face First Division opposition, having been drawn away to Queen of the South.

Fellow minnows Huntly and Cove Rangers were handed home draws, with Dundee and Ross County their respective opponents.

The matches will be played on the weekend of January 12-13.
